Tour de France : the real numbers of doping

Last update : 15/05/2019

Warning

These statistics count riders who have been pinned at some point in their career. They therefore evolve according to positive controls, confessions, inquieries, etc. All of these numbers are likely to rise over time. In particular, the figures for the last ten years races should be regarded as highly provisional.

Statistics

The table below establishes, team by team, the count of the riders who have been or will be subsequently "pinned" in doping cases.
